Pic came out side ways, sorry about that!!
We catch them often here on KY and Barkley so they aren't strictly a MS thing.
I have a pond full of them. Fun to catch.

A Black nose crappie is a cross between a white and black crappie in the wild, they can reproduce.
A Magnolia crappie is a cross between a black and white crappie in a hatchery, they can't reproduce.

Crappie were introduced to ponds and small lakes. Not enough fishing, bass and catfish to control their numbers. What you caught was small compared to the big lakes. Most of the time not making the state's 10" limit. The state lakes are being drained and rebuilt, hope to rid them of the common crappie and introduce the magnolia crappie.
Caught them fairly often at Ross Barnett during the early 90'S .
First sentence is wrong - second sentence is (mostly) correct.Quote:

A Magnolia Crappie is a hatchery crossbreed, but a small percentage of them can reproduce.
I've been catching them at Watts Bar in East Tenn for decades. Also caught some from a small state lake that was stocked with Crappie from several other lakes in the state.
Only Crappie I've ever caught that has leaped clear out of the water upon hookset, and even had one jump clear across the bow of my buds Tracker 17 ... a good 8ft from exit to re-entry into the water.
30 years ago we called em "brush crappie" cause that's where we always caught em.

If they do sometimes reproduce what do you get when a black nose and magnolia breed?
They have been stocking them in Weiss in Alabama for several years now
